Tax Lifted GRIFFIN, Oct. 7 The old wheeze about the certainty of taxes and death isn't applicable here in every respect. City taxes have been removed from real estate for 1935 by the city commissioners. They decided there would be ample funds available without levying the customary 4 mill taxes on property. Griffin, 40 miles south of Atlanta, has a population of 15.000.

The commissioners found they would be able to pay for city operations for next year from city operated water and light departments, business licenses, police fines, parking meters, ao counts receivable and cash on hand. Hurricane Moves West MIAMI, Oct. 7 tin The island of Aruba off the northern coast of Venezuela escaped damage from hurricane Hazel Joday as the center of the 115-mile-an-hour tropical storm passed about 60 miles north of tbat important Dutch possession. Grady Norton, Miami's chief storm forecaster, said Aruba, where the 1 Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey operates one of the world's largest refineries, felt winds of only about 30 mph.

As it passed Aruba, the hurricane, still moving westward, headed out over a vast stretch of open waters of the Caribbean Sea. Norton said no threat to any other land area is expected "for a day or two. The San Juan weather bureau's advisory said "this is a very dangerous hurricane," adding that a further increase in the size of the storm is expected during the night. Ships at sea were advised to avoid the area. Boys Threw Tomatoes WATERTOWN, N.

Oct. 7 (Jft- Four high school boys confessed today that they threw tomatoes Tuesday night at Sen. Irving M. Ives, Republican candidate for governor of New York. Principal Albert B.

Scholl of Wa- tertown High School said the boys had given him a signed statement apologizing to Ives for the "thoughtless act." Ives, whose reaction Tuesday night was that the tomatoes "came by indirection straight from Tammany Hall," the Democratic camp in Manhattan, told a newsman in Auburn that the boys were "wholly forgiven. The tomatoes did not hit Ives. Some juice splattered his wife and spotted Ives' hat, Bow-And-Arrow Holdup FREIBURG, Germany, Oct. 7 Police today reported that three masked men armed with bows and arrows last night held up a farmer near here and robbed him of $61.88.

As Mercury Plummets Ike To Give Extra Speech Nixon Says Heeds Party's Call For Help Steps Up Campaign But Bars Stumping For Any Individual DENVER, Oct. 7 (B-President Eisenhower, heeding party calls' for help, decided today to step up! his personal campaign for a Republican Congress by making at least one more major political address than he had planned. The chief executive will go that far. Vice President Nixon announced at the Denver White House after conferring with Eisenhower, but still is determined to do no barnstorming for individual GOP candidates in the November election. To Play 'Right Role And Nixon told a news conference that in his opinion the President has been and will continue to play "exactly the right role" in what several GOP leaders have termed a tough fight to maintain Republican control of Congress.

The vice president said it would! be a mistake for Eisenhower to! get "personally involved" in any! lmrapany ieuas over candidates by barnstorming for individuals He said that would smack of the "purge idea" and would do the party more harm than good. Nixon agreed it's a difficult battle for the Republicans, but expressed confidence his party-will win. He declared the campaign the Democrats are waging would take the country "back to the days when the Communist danger was ignored back to the day of the red nemng. Remark Interpreted His "red herring" remark was an indirect criticism of the Truman administration's handling of the subversion problem. The decision for the President to make at least one more major speech than the two already an nounced undoubtedly won't satisfy an nanas particularly UOP candidates whose pleas if answered would take him into several states between now and Ncv.

2, election day. Eisenhower will make a nationwide television-radio address tomorrow night, the first of the three major speeches he now is planning. He and Nixon will speak at a big political rally in the Denver Municipal Auditorium, and similar GOP "precinct workers day" rallies all over the country will be tuned in. As previously announced, the President will make another nationwide TV-radio address Nov. 1, election eve.

Leaders Arrive Today Republican congressional leaders will arrive here tomorrow for a political strategy conference and a review of the international situation in advance of Eisenhower's evening speech.

Thursday's chill gusts were in sharp contrast to last weekend's Indian Summer 85 degree sultriness when shirt-sleeves were the rule on Main Street. Atitoists And Farmers Warned Thursday night the Weather Bureau cautioned drivers to put anti-freeze in their cars, and warned farmers to expect heavy deposits of frost, in the first general freeze-up of the season. The high Thursday was 53 de grees, and at 9 p.m. was 39, with prospects of dropping several de grees over night.

The low tern iperature Thursday was set at 5:45 a.m., when the thermome ter hit 35. The record low for the date is 33 degrees, set on Oct. 7, 1904. Ever since they moved into their brand new house at 38 John Smith Dr. in West Hartford three weeks a 30, Mr.

and Mrs. Ray mond Christensen have been hearing strange noises. "It sounded like somebody was hammering nails," they said. 'The man next door is doing some work on his house so we figured it was him and didn't pay too much attention." But Wednesday morning, while the hammering was at its noisiest peak, their neighbor showed up at the front door with some startling news. "Don't look now," he said, "but I think the woodpeckers are eating up your house." The Christensens dashed outside and, sure enough, there were three or four happy woodpeckers banging away at the brown shingled outer walls Finds 20 llle "We made a quick inspection and found 20 or 30 holes all over the exterior," Mrs.

Christepsen said. "And on the upper portion of the house there were four or five holes that were about three inches in, diameter." Mr. Christensen called the State Fish and Game Department to explain the situation and find out what could be done. He was told that woodpeckers seldom attack new wood, preferring old wormy trees and planks to freshly painted shingles such as those on his new home. "Well, what do we do?" Chris tensen asked.

"We'll investigate and let you know," came the reply. The Christensens made a pre liminary check of their insurance and could find nothing covering damage by woodpeckers or any other birds or animals for that matter. "The wyodpeckers are still at Federal Jury Re-Indicts Lattimore Accuses Him of Falsely Denying He Followed Red Line rw t.h-a fJa era! grand jury today accused Owen Lattimore of falsely denying under oath that he had been "a of the Communist line" and a "promoter of Communist interests." The controversial Far Eastern affairs specialist promptly issued a statement saying he always has been a loyal American who fol lowed the "dictates of my own con science and not the commands ol any foreign system." Obtained by Government The new two-count indictment was obtained by the government after the courts voided the corner- stone count of an earlier indict- ment. This alleged Lattimore swore falsely when he told the Senate Internal Security subcommittee he had never been a sympathizer or any other kind of promoter of communism or Red interests. Nowhere in the new indictment did the word "sympathizer" appear.

The U. S. Court of Appeals in a decision last July said this word, as used in the earlier indictment was too vague. U. S.

Atty. Leo A. Rover told reporters he will move later to consolidate the new indictment with the five remaining counts of the original true bill. Declines Prediction At a news conference, a reporter asked Atty. Gen.

Brownell what the government's next move would be if the new indictment is thrown out. "I won't make any predictions on that," Brownell replied. Lattimore said in a statement the new indictment "attempts to create the impression that I said a lot of things which I did not say." He added: "But more important, this indict- (Conrluded on rage 2, Column 5) Time Connecticut manu facturers of time devices. He left Waterbury, in 1948 to join the California firm.

And so they are anxiously awaiting advice from the Fish and Game Department, hopeful that there will be some solution to their alarming problem. Connecticut The forecast for today is fair and sunny with gentle variable winds, but not so cold tonight as Thursday. The high today will be in the upper 50s.

A forecaster said there was a good chance the previous low record of 30.5 degrees set in 1935 would be broken early this morning. Arctic Air Brings Snow He explained that the chilly spell is the result of a cold mass of Arctic air centered over Eastern New York state. The high-pressure area is moving south eastward, and warmer weather is in store with temperatures in the 60s. The Weather Bureau said frosts at this time of the year are to be expected. The first frost last year was registered Oct.

9, and in 1952, Oct. 12. Mt. Washington in New Hampshire got its first snow of the season two weeks ago. Two inches of snow were reported on the ground at Franconia Notch Thursday.

Snow showers lasted two hours Thursday in Montpelier and Bur lington, Vt, and Mt. Mansfield lay under a two-inch snow cov erlet. The officers caught him in than a block but then, said Patrolman William Kutzing, "He broke away, pulled a gun and, at six feet, fired." The bullet grazed the side of Kutzing's partner, Charles Smith. Ricks fired two mor? shots, then fled. He made his stand at 219 Edgecomb Ave.

More than 1,000 persons watched the spectacular crime drama from behind building corners and other safe places. Dozens of residents were trapped in terror inside the Harlem apartment building. The gunman, identified as Robert Ricks, 47, made his last stand at a stair well at the top floor of the six-story building. He died a short time later in Harlem Hospital, riddled by bul lets.
